There's nothing worse for new initiatives than negative people. Unfortunately, these characters are always around us, constantly trying to pass on their "Nelei" (negative attitude to life) to us. I'd say at least half of all contemporaries fall into this category.
So always be careful who you surround yourself with and who influences you. It's best to take stock and draw conclusions if necessary. Negative people have the same influence as sickening TV programs and cheap junk from the print media.
This negativity, which spreads quietly and mainly invisibly like a cancer, is like a disease. Sometimes it's unavoidable to meet these people. In those cases, it's highly advisable not to share ideas with such individuals. They'd only put you down anyway. It's best to wait until results are available. Then suddenly, even these critics will be ready to congratulate you.
